Xiao Yu first picked up a piece of spare rib.
After taking a few bites, he chewed them carefully and then shook his head.
"This braised pork ribs is still lacking in flavor... Although it's tender enough, it's not quite savory enough!"
Then he picked up a piece of green vegetable and tasted it a few times.
"All-natural vegetables taste good, but without the help of technology and high-quality ingredients, they're ultimately not enough to make you want to eat more rice..."
As Xiao Yu tasted the food, he commented on the signature dishes of Jade Liquid Pavilion, shaking his head and saying, "Although it tastes better than the food at Prince Xiao's Mansion, it's just so-so!"
Fortunately, he was alone in the private room. If he had said these things in the lobby, the boss would have thought he was there to cause trouble.
"It seems that as long as I invent MSG and chicken bouillon, I'm sure I'll make a fortune!"
Xiao Yu's mood improved, and he picked up the wine pot, poured himself a glass of wine, and began to enjoy it.
After a satisfying meal, we pushed open the door to the private room, ready to leave.
Just then, a series of "thump-thump-thump" footsteps were heard downstairs, and many people ran to the lobby on the first floor.
Then a loud voice was heard saying, "That stunningly beautiful young lady is offering her sword as a prize. Whoever can compose a poem that satisfies her will receive the sword."
"For no reason at all, what happened?"
"Someone just recited the poem 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face'... After hearing it, that stunningly beautiful young lady took out her sword as a prize! Judging from her attire, she must be a young lady from a wealthy family. That sword is also exquisite; it probably wasn't cheap!"
"Let's go take a look, let's go..."
Xiao Yu heard the two people talking downstairs.
After descending more than a dozen steps, Xiao Yu arrived at the lobby on the first floor, where a large crowd had already gathered.
Everyone was whispering among themselves.
"Is this the young lady who used her sword as a prize?"
"What a beautiful girl!"
"She is indeed beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman before. She is absolutely stunning and has an unparalleled charm! But... I wonder which family she belongs to?"
"Poetry... is it so easy to write? That talented scholar disappeared after composing the lines 'The clouds remind me of her clothes, the flowers of her face'!"
"Everyone knows that this poem was given to the courtesan Shen Youyu, but they don't even know the name of the poet!"
Xiao Yu was about to leave, but after hearing someone praise the young lady as "stunningly beautiful and peerless," he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
Is there any woman in the capital who is more beautiful than my four wives?
Xiao Yu was unconvinced, but actually wanted to see the woman's face, so he squeezed into the crowd.
Then Xiao Yu was stunned...
This woman was truly beautiful; she could indeed be described as "a beauty that could topple kingdoms and possess unparalleled elegance."
The woman was about the same age as Xiao Yu, and she was wearing a dark purple brocade robe with a jade belt inlaid with gemstones around her waist, which accentuated her slender waist.
She has a beautiful oval face, fair skin like fresh snow, and exquisite features. Every gesture and movement exudes an indescribable charm.
"This woman has an exceptional temperament. Her arrogance is no less than Jin Mulan's, her beauty is no less than Shen Youyu's, her heroic spirit is no less than Liu Aoxue's, and her cuteness is no less than Murong's... No, I haven't seen her cute side when she's being coquettish yet."
As Xiao Yu sized up this stunningly beautiful woman, he had already decided to write a poem and befriend her.
"Poetry! Poetry! Poetry..."
The men in the hall were all attracted by the woman's beauty, and in order to attract her attention, they racked their brains to come up with poems.
Unfortunately, apart from chanting the word "poetry," he couldn't think of anything else in his head.
A beautiful and graceful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections.
Such a stunningly beautiful woman naturally attracted everyone's attention, but due to her noble attire, no one dared to be presumptuous.
Moreover, a valiant female swordsman stood behind her.
The female swordswoman was dressed in white, holding a sword in her hand, and looked very heroic.
She was originally an extremely beautiful female swordsman, but standing behind that peerless woman, she became a supporting character.
"A budget version of Mulan and Liu Aoxue."
Xiao Yu mentally assessed the female swordsman.
At the same time, they were even more curious about the identity of this stunningly beautiful woman... Usually, women go out with maids, but she actually brought a female swordsman with her? Moreover, judging from the aura of this female swordsman, she seems to be a grandmaster!
Although she concealed her cultivation level, Xiao Yu could still sense some of it.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Seeing everyone racking their brains, the beautiful woman shook her head in disappointment.
"Our Great Xia has a weak poetry culture. It's already amazing that we can produce one poem like 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers remind me of her face.' How could we possibly produce two masterpieces in such a short period of time?"
Her voice was very pleasant, as if it had a magical power to attract people. Hearing her disappointed words, everyone felt a little guilty.
"Miss, you should put this Dragon Sword away. There are many people here, and most of them are not scholars."
The white-clad female swordsman spoke respectfully.
"The Dragon Sword?"
Upon hearing these three words, a burly man couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Your sword is the Youlong Sword? The Youlong Sword forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezixuan?!"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
The sword that this stunningly beautiful woman carries is actually the Youlong Sword, forged by Ouye Zixuan, the greatest swordsmith of the Great Xia Dynasty?!
The Great Xia Dynasty has only a handful of famous divine weapons, and the Wandering Dragon Sword is one of them.
"The Dragon Sword?"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but be surprised, staring intently at the sword and muttering, "It's the same person who forged the Dragon Gall Spear! My Xiao Royal Family spent hundreds of years to obtain this Dragon Gall Spear... and she actually used the Wandering Dragon Sword as a prize?!"
After confirming that the sword was the Youlong Sword, Xiao Yu couldn't help but scold her for being a spendthrift woman!
At the same time, I was overjoyed... Who else but me can write poetry?
"really."
After the stunningly beautiful woman finished answering, she reached for the Youlong Sword on the table. As more and more people arrived, but no one could compose a poem, she lost interest and was about to leave in disappointment.
"Since no one is composing a poem, please make way, my young lady is taking her leave."
The white-clad female swordsman waved her sleeve, using her aura to clear a path.
This move shocked everyone present.
"Release internal energy to injure people from a distance... This is a skill only a grandmaster possesses!"
"Is this female swordswoman a grandmaster?"
"To think she has a female grandmaster as her subordinate, what is this young lady's background?"
Everyone was speculating, but no one dared to ask.
Just as the two women were about to leave, Xiao Yu finally spoke... He deliberately delayed until the last moment to create a surprise for the beautiful woman.
"If the young lady wants a poem, why don't I give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Xiao Yu, including the stunningly beautiful woman and the white-clad female swordsman...
"Sure enough, there was surprise in her beautiful eyes... but it was fleeting, and I didn't see her smile."
Xiao Yu stared at the stunningly beautiful woman and silently thought to himself.
